The Sea Monster’s Manners

There's a sea monster out in the deep

With pointy teeth and a bedtime sleep

He rises up with a bubbly roar

Then says, Excuse me, may I come aboard

Manners on the ocean, manners on the sea

Please and thank you is the best way to be

Kind words travel far like a message in a bottle

Manners make the whole wide world feel a little more gentle

He takes one snack not all the plate

He chews real slow, he always waits

If someone trips, he lends a fin

Then says, I'm sorry, friend—let's begin again

What do we say when we want a treat

Please

What do we say when we get to eat

Thank you

What do we say when we bump a knee

Are you okay

Manners on the ocean, manners on the sea

Please and thank you is the best way to be

Kind words travel far like a message in a bottle

Manners make the whole wide world feel a little more gentle
